Why would a union help at all? Organized workers won’t change the financial and legal obligations at the top. It won’t drive the focus away from quarterly earnings. Unions protect the workers, they don’t drive company culture.

There is no saving Google. The only way out of the hole they’re in is to have the integrity not to fall in in the first place.
